Everyone is a midfielder on munich. Their strikers, their cbs, their fullbacks and even their goalkeepers... So much versatility on their team.

Real Madrid played like shit...... Flops of the match were cavani, ronaldo and jese. Varance, maxwell, di maria had very good games...

Sterling's best game has came when City plays counter football and yesterday without KDB.... I wonder if that is a coincidence. I've never seen city play as well as they did in europe this season until last night

Man United have carrick, herrera, bastian and morgan. All that hype in their cms, yet, they are so ultraconservative as a team. Read on redcafe, how boring united fans think they play. Morgan played well at southampton. So did our own ryan betrand. So, did llalana, lovren and lambert. At United, he has already been dropped in 2 big games and their so called super midfield have been very underwhelming. Football has changed now in terms of positions. Cesc has been bad since the new year, but he still create chances even though he is getting cut through easily. Cesc was never a fast guy and never a good defensive cm ever. You cannot expect him to be that. Way I see it if JT went to barcelona, he would of failed hard under their tactics. However, he stay in England in a team that matched his skillset.

Yea, it's very weird when someone says he actually dictates tempo, which is the complete opposite of Juan Mata.

Rakitic went to barcelona even when xavi was there and was willing to play a different role. Highly doubt, he would of came here.... Morgan been dropped a few times by LVG already this season... Top of my head, he was dropped for both arsenal and liverpool... Mata has not been consistent at all. He's been better than rooney and depay though, but marital has been the best out of the 4. Your personal hate doesn't change the fact that cesc creates chances. Due to his position, cesc can definitely create more than mata unless mata. Set peices, longball, through balls, flicks, etc. Mata never control matches, both Cesc and OScar did.

Ball control definitely mata. Controlling the match is definitely not mata... Both cesc and oscar are better by a wide margin. Creating chances is cesc, mata than oscar. With Mata, both matic and cesc would of been exposed more as would of the whole backline. LVG plays mata on the wings, because like Jose, he views mata as a weak player. This season, United plays ultraconservative football, which is why guys like Smalling is getting recognition as the best cb in the league... If you think we play like shit, you haven't seen United games...

So, Cesc cannot be captain because he cannot run fast? Cesc is the best person to be captain on this team by a long shot. Because Jose is putting Cesc in a situation to fail, it's his fault? You guys make no sense.

Pedro, Oscar or Matic. It could also be Remy and Falcao too... Cesc is another option. I highly doubt it is anyone on the backline though or one of the young kids... Hazard seems like a person that wouldn't care enough to say this type of statement. However, I could imagine those 3 +Cesc saying something along that line.

Didn't Maks say that JT was a big reason why Jose got sacked the first time around?

Cabaye left PSG to become a starter....

I would bet it be cesc, pedro, matic or oscar.

Let me tell you what I know on the Chelsea story. My information comes from a Chelsea first team player. The information was actually passed to me by a football contact. I was told that Jose Mourinho's relationship with many of his players is at rock bottom. I was told they're fed up with the way he's been dealing with some of them. They're fed up with his outbursts. I was told that his relationship particularly with Eden Hazard was under immense strain. Here's a staggering quote. One player said recently, "I'd rather lose than win for him". Now that last quote may well have been said in the heat of the moment, but it perhaps gives an insight into the mood of some of the players. -BBC reporter

Except Neymar is doing everything people said he couldn't. Carrying the team without Messi, creating for others, etc. Outside of having a huge advantage lower body wise and better close control due to that, I do not see where hazard is better than neymar

Our record might suck, but united definitely plays the worse brand of football in England out of the bigger teams.

Them crazy benfica fans always said that one of Matic's biggest weaknesses was stamina

I like how Cesc didn't put Matic on his team.......

Ever since Messi's injury, Neymar has been the best player in Europe during that span. I think it's like 5 goals/ 3 assists in 4 games after Messi got hurt. Like I said before, Neymar's role was different with Messi in the teamsheet, now both he and Iniesta were out (for munir/roberto), neymar has carried barcelona

Roma aka choke artists of Italy.

Gaya and Jose?????? ehhhh

Jose needs to do a better job managing his players. I would choose hazard over jose, however, we will be fine if hazard/jose leaves. It has happened before and we managed through it, so it would happen again.

HE moved to the center because hazard was ineffective there all game long, hence why he was benched so early on.... Milner, clyne, etc were not effective on that side at all. Both sides were decent, it was our center that was getting cut through

Coutinho goes 1 for 1000 and against us he scores 2 goals. 1 after 2mins of time and another deflected goal

Good game from the 2 brazilians

Moreno getting skinned alive today
